The document discusses social distancing guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. It recommends staying at least 1.5 meters away from other people, not gathering in groups, and avoiding crowded places. Social distancing is important as COVID-19 spreads mainly between people within 2 meters of each other for prolonged periods through respiratory droplets. Maintaining space and limiting contact with groups can help reduce transmission, even from people who may be infected but not showing symptoms. Tips include following local guidance, maintaining distance while shopping or using pharmacies, working from home if possible, and avoiding public transportation.

Why practice social distancing?
COVID-19 spreads mainly among people who are in close contact (advise within about 2 meters) for a prolonged period. Spread happens when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, and droplets from their mouth or nose are launched into the air and land in the mouths or noses of people nearby. Recent studies indicate that people who are infected but do not have symptoms likely also play a role in the spread of COVID-19. BGP CREW 9931 HSSE Dept.
Tips for social distancing:
Follow guidance from authorities where you live. If you need to shop for food or medicine at the grocery store or pharmacy, stay at least 1.5 meters away from others. Use mail-order for medications, if possible. Avoid large and small gatherings in private places and public spaces, such a friend’s house, parks, restaurants, shops, or any other place. Work from home when possible. If possible, avoid using any kind of public transportation, ridesharing, or taxis. BGP CREW 9931 HSSE Dept. BGP CREW 9931 HSSE Dept. BGP CREW 9931 HSSE Dept.
